[Cho:]
You came throwing colours,
All around my blacks and grays,
While I stood in wonder you just opened up my days.
Let me tell you what you did to me,
I want to shout the news.
You came throwing colours 'round my blues,
You came throwing colours 'round my blues.
Makes me wonder how I got,
The way I used to be.
Something in my head,
Just simply made a mess of me.
Then you told me love was possible,
You told me I was free.
You came throwing colours 'round my blues.
[Cho:]
[Instrumental Bridge]
Oh, I would sit for hours,
Never noticing the sky.
Chances came and went,
You know, I let them scurry by.
Then you told me love was possible,
You made me want to try,
You came throwing colours 'round my blues.
[Cho:]
You came throwing colours 'round my blues.
You came throwing colours 'round my blues.
